According to many you are what is wrong with the fanbase with your low fan expectations. It's all YOUR fault this franchise is the way it is because coaching, ownership, and players mean nothing compared to the all mighty importance of fan expectation.

FWIW, I also don't expect them to pull out the needed 5 or 6 wins, but do hope it happens, and have convinced myself this is worth getting excited about.

I'm sure they'll let us down (yet again), but I don't mind. Only 1 team has the season we all want, so I just enjoy the ride while it lasts. Better to have fun for 15-16 weeks instead of knowing and saying we stink.

There's nothing wrong with recognizing we're an average team, and taming our expectations to match that.

But unlike Sawdust, I'm too dumb not to get excited about us being 4-6 LOL.

Yeah that was just a shot a slidepiece and all the other fake fans that said I was the biggest problem with the fanbase. Clearly my realistic expectations were more important than coaching, players, ownership, draft picks, etc.

We need these games here this week, in a perfect world:
Titans over Jags, Ravens over Chargers, Bills over Colts, Browns over Steelers, Raiders over Bengals, Pats over Jets, Seahawks over Dolphins

The only one we HAVE to have is our game, Titans over Jags.

I would be content with Titans over Jags and 3 of the other 6 games, I think our best chances are:
Titans over Jags, Ravens over Chargers, Pats over Jets, and Seahawks over Dolphins. This would make us the #8 seed.

Our potential for the biggest jump in standings:
Titans over Jags, Ravens over Chargers, Raiders over Bengals.

With those 3 games, we would be ahead of the Chargers and tied with the Bengals, but hold the tie-breaker with a better record vs AFC teams and be the #7 seed, needing only to move to #6 to make the playoffs.

If the jaguars beat us next week, I might have to cry. They kept up with Houston yesterday.

That's why I'm tempering my expectations. IF we were to lose to the Jags, some of these same people who are talking playoffs are going to be starting a million "ZOMG WE ARE TEH AWFUL!!1!" threads. As if we haven't been awful all along.
